Country and Beauty

If he just withdrew his troops in such a dejected manner, then the prestige that he had under Xiangda Lu would be completely gone. However, if they didn't withdraw their troops, the food and resources would be cut off, and their morale would be in disarray, then how could they fight against the heavily guarded Tulgart Mountain Pass? He looked like he had aged a lot. Seated in the huge tent, he stared blankly at the sight before him, his mind at a loss.

"Xiangda Lu, you can't fight anymore … Let's withdraw. At least we still have soldiers and horses. Even if Da Kun Mi isn't willing to accept us, we still have Uguri. Let's go back to the Uguri and regroup. When the great army of the Kang Residence and the great army of HuTu Dan Yu arrives, we will be able to join forces and fight our way out of Uguri. A counselor tried to persuade him in a low voice.

If someone had told him to retreat a few days ago, he would have killed him without hesitation. But now …

He took a deep breath and said softly, "If that's the case, then we can only retreat." Send orders to the three armies, prepare to retreat! However, we cannot return to the Scarlet Gold City. We must directly return to the Uguri Plains and wait for the right time. " These words were said with extreme desolation. Yunwu Li was very clear that after this retreat, the next time they would rejoin Scarlet Gold City would be at an unknown time. In Wu Sun Country, Xiang Da Lu and Da Kun Mi represented two entirely different forces. They were the pro-northern Huns and the pro-Han ones, led by Xiang Da Lu and Da Kun Mi. The Qin Army's Han people had great power now, but of course, the pro-Han people led by Da Kun Mi temporarily held the upper hand in the Kingdom of Wu Sun. Since when did Big Xiang Lu gain the upper hand? Perhaps, I will never be able to see that day …

Wu Sun had keenly sensed the abnormal behavior of Wu Sun's camp. He quickly realized that Wu Sun was preparing to escape. He had originally wanted to wait for the arrival of your mountain city's army and annihilate them. But from the looks of it … However, even if that was the case, they still couldn't just let them escape in vain.

Xie Fei immediately gave the order to the six thousand soldiers of the Tulghat Qin Army to defend and prepare to attack. Since the start of the battle, especially when the situation was extremely intense, Xie Fei had wanted to use the Qin Army s to counterattack several times, but they were all stopped by the general. If the Qin Army had not appeared, then so be it.

Therefore, in order to choose the best time, Xie Fei did not use the Qin Army either. Now, the time was ripe!

The inclined plane outside the barrier had long since ceased to exist, following the tragic battle.

Xie Fei wore a belt of armor. Riding on the top grade warhorse, the long spear in his hand resonated with the long horn, leading the Qin Army out of the fort. The top quality Benji Horse let out a fierce long hiss. Xie Fei raised his spear, "Attack with Black Robe!"

"As invincible as I am..." Black Shirt Army's war cry resounded in the sky as he charged towards the Wu Sun Army's camp like a black torrent.

Under the same starry sky, inside the palace of the Upper State, in the Imperial Study. She was pretty and delicate, her long eyelashes slightly flickered, her black and white pupils were as clear as the waters of autumn, and there wasn't a speck of dust on her body. At this moment, she was carefully reading a secret letter sent from the "Mingyang Pass".

There were seven people standing in front of the desk. It was none other than Wang Meng and the other six books. The seven of them did not say a word, waiting for Zhuge Mingyue to read the secret letter so that they could discuss the military intelligence.

"He came so fast!" Zhuge Mingyue put down the secret military letter with her slender and jade-like hands and let out a faint sigh.

The Prime Minister spoke out abruptly, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qin is not here right now. The authority over the military and the imperial government rests with the Queen.

According to the reports of the scouts, this is the Grand Perfection Army formed from the regular army of the original Da Cheng Kingdom and the soldiers that disperse their valiant forces. The commander here is the young general Li Qi, and Li Qi is the son of the country's ruler, Li Xiong, who trains the formation day and night.

"The scouts of the imperial guards reported that there are many bandits in the Wu Capital and Yin Ping region of the Qin State. These bandits attacked the villages and towns, plundered food, money, equipment and women, and secretly transferred them to Chen Cang Pass. Xie Kun said resolutely: The reason for this is only two, one is to investigate the truth of my Qin State, obviously they have already fulfilled their wish, they know that my Qin State's military strength is now empty, and the second is to steal some treasures to accumulate rations and fodder, and use war techniques, to quickly attack the [Bright Moon Pass]!

Hearing the two people's words, Zhuge Mingyue's expression remained calm, as though the sky had fallen down, and was not anxious at all. Her muscles were white like snow, and her temperament was elegant like a fairy. Her Heaven and Earth bell face moved slightly as she asked Wang Meng, "Prime Minister Wang, what do you think we should do?"

The Prime Minister Wang Meng said while pondering, "Li Qi is young, but he has good skills in the use of troops, he is a rare general level talent, in the entire Qin State, there is no one who can match him, but at the moment, he is guarded by General Zhang Li, if he does not come out to fight he can still wait for the army of the Duke of Qin to return, and the Mingyang Pass is the most important person, and it is hard to attack the terrain, even though there are close to a hundred thousand enemies and the defending army is four thousand, but it is not a temporary achievement for the enemies to attack the Mingyang Pass quickly."

Zhuge Mingyue said indifferently: Our troops in the Mingyang Pass need to continue increasing their strength and training, and the supplies at the back area must keep up with the troops, so we need to prepare sufficient rations and armor. Once the war starts, we will need to compare endurance and supplies, and once the Duke of Qin pacifies the chaos in the Western Region, we will have to return and lead the army, defeating Li Qi's army will be just around the corner. If we really cannot go, then I will personally go to the meeting with Li Qi. However, the Duke of Qin went to inspect the situation of the people. If he discovered that the new laws of that city weren't carried out well, and that he had let down the people, the Duke of Qin definitely wouldn't let these officials off! "

On the other hand, Wang Meng and the rest thought to themselves: The queen is a transcendent character like a fairy, she actually knows how to lie!

Zhuge Mingyue's eyes turned to look at the moon outside the imperial study, her heart filled with boundless tenderness and love. "Xie Lang, you have to return victoriously, otherwise, Mingyue really would have to personally make a move against that Li Qi."

Why did Li Xiong want to attack the Qin State at this moment of time? Of course, Wang Dun had done a great service, he had sent his trusted subordinate Yang Xiaochuan, and entered Shu Jin to meet the Emperor Li Xiong.

He was filled with a mighty aura. Sitting on the dragon throne, he looked down at the officials, generals, advisors, foreign delegates, as well as the guests from the Qiang and Central Plains who were gathered in the main hall, and smiled: "Everyone, please raise your goblets to welcome's pillar general Wang Dun, the envoy of the nation, Mr. Yang."

Yang Xiaochuan drained his cup, stroked his beard and laughed, "I have come here to pass on the intentions of the Chu Clan generals to befriend the Dacheng Kingdom. Secondly, I would like to make friends with the heroes of the Sichuan Empire. It is a pleasure to see the Emperor Dewei today, as well as all the generals and guests present."

Listening to his praises, Li Xiong was delighted in his heart. He said: "I heard that General Wang has been reborn as an Overlord with the courage to be invincible?"

Yang Xiaochuan nodded, "That's right, the reason why I came here this time is to establish a contract with the Da Cheng Kingdom, and join hands to deal with the Qin State."

Li Xiong had been standing at the top for a long time, so he was naturally not stupid. He did not easily agree, and asked instead: "I heard that the Duke of Qin is the current commander of the tiger wolves, and his generals are all brave men. Over a hundred thousand of his elite troops are stationed at the Qin State. Qin State and Ba Shu are neighbors, once the war breaks out, I wonder how many troops General Wang can send to assist in the battle? "

Yang Xiaochuan extended three fingers as he smiled confidently: "Three hundred thousand, my master, General Wang, will personally lead a hundred thousand elite riders to Jing Prefecture to encircle the Qin State, in addition to that, my father will also mobilize Shi Le of the Liaodong to send out two hundred thousand troops from the lower, northern, eastern and southern sides to reinforce them. As long as the Emperor leads troops from the Great Sword Mountain to go around the border of the Han River, disperse the troops of Chen Cang and the Qin Army, my master will easily defeat the Qin Army's defense and annihilate the Han army."

Moreover, everyone knew that the main force of the Qin State was currently fighting with the strongest countries in the Western Regions, Wu Sun, Da Wen and Northern Huns. Furthermore, the total military strength of the three Kingdoms combined was not more than six hundred thousand, and now with the addition of the four hundred thousand troops of the three Kingdoms, it would be a one million strong army fighting against the hundred thousand of the Qin Army. This Wang Dun was indeed a strong and robust man!

Seeing that everyone in the hall was shocked by his words, Yang Xiaochuan smiled and continued to speak: "The Duke of Qin has already secretly sent troops to hoard the land of the Mingyang Pass, and is eyeing them covetously, not willing to give up this fertile land. Even if the Emperor did not send out his troops first, the Qin Army would have won in the Western Regions and would have attacked the land of Shu, when that time comes, the Emperor might not be able to hold off the hundred thousand Qin Army.

Li Xiong's tiger body trembled, his expression finally changed at this moment, and he was moved by Yang Xiaochuan's suggestion. If he could form an alliance with Wang Dun and obtain the metal weapons of the Central Plains as well as salt, cloth, and other crops to strengthen the country, he would be able to withstand the invasion of the Qin Army and after raising his troops for a few years, he would be able to plot against the Central Plains.

That was why Li Xiong had ordered his son to be a commander, with the Da Cheng Ba Clan warriors as the main force. Miao, Ba, Yi, Nightingale and the white barbarians, as well as the wolf soldiers from the Tu Clan, to participate in the battle.

Yong Jia was at the end of December, and as the New Year approached, the curtain to the war on the Western Regions had already fallen. Under the joint attack of Beigong Chun and Zu Ti, the Northern Huns were fleeing in defeat while leading tens of thousands of survivors into Europe, which created the legend of the God's Whip. After being shot to death by a cold arrow from the Qin Army, the two armies, Beigong Chun and Zu Ti rushed towards the direction of the Scarlet Gold City as if they were cutting through dry weeds. Yuan Gui never expected that the great army of over a hundred thousand people would be completely wiped out and there wasn't even enough time to react before the troops arrived at the city gates. Helplessly, Yuan Jinxian presented the letter of surrender and was escorted to live in the State of Supremes.

At this point, the war in the Western Regions that had lasted half a year had officially ended. Onion Ridge, Heavenly Mountain, and the various dukes all surrendered after hearing the news of Wu Sun's destruction.

Xie Fei did not refuse and sent all of these dukes to live in the Shanghai State City.

"Ugh …" "Knock, knock, knock …" Just as Xie Fei had calmed down, a fierce battle was currently taking place several thousand kilometers away in the Mingyang Pass.

In the ancient times, normal arrows used for war usually had a range of 100 to 150 steps, and the length of the bow was 2 meters, which was made from purple shirt or Cen Mu, so it was relatively cheap. When shooting arrows, it was not towards people, but towards the sky, so naturally the arrows would fall, because there was a shield in front to protect them, the rain of arrows that fell from the sky would not be easily avoided, and the speed of the arrows would also increase as they slid down, so that the ordinary archers would each have a quiver, and each quiver would have 12 arrows.

According to the historical records, Qin Guan walked six feet a step, one mile three hundred steps at a time, then about one meter and three hundred steps at a time. When ordinary archers shot up to a distance of one hundred or two hundred meters, they could even pierce through armors, which was already very powerful, and on ordinary longbows, there were composite bows made from many materials, like cores or Cen Mu, which could also be used as a horn.

Since most of the armies in Sichuan were formed on the spur of the moment, their weapons were simple and didn't have proper armor, so naturally, they didn't have high quality bows and crossbows. Since the crossbows were used alone, they were simple to use, they were accurate, they were powerful at close range, but they couldn't be used far away from the crossbow. Although the crossbows were used slowly, they could still be loaded with crossbows, requiring three people to use them.

"Kill ~ ~"

Under the influence of Yang Xiaochuan, Cheng Guo became the vanguard of Qin, under the influence of Yang Xiaochuan, countless soldiers roared, brandishing their spears and holding their spears as they bravely charged forward. They instantly felt a strong masculine wind, which rose up from the battlefield, engulfing the entire space for hundreds of miles. The sky and the earth changed color, and an invisible murderous air spread out in the air. "Aooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" ""

Zhang Li was already used to his military career. He was far more compassionate and merciful towards the battlefield than he was before, because there was no need for mercy on the battlefield. Defeating the enemy as quickly as possible, reducing the casualties on their side, and ending the war were the most important things. Zhang Li shouted expressionlessly, "Release the arrows!"

"Rising …" "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Due to the effect of Xie Fei, this otherworldly butterfly, the weapons and armor of the Qin Army were undoubtedly superlative in this era. The biggest difference between crossbows and arrows were that archers use a lot of effort, even if they are extremely strong, they wouldn't be able to open their bows thirty times in a row, but archery was different, because the Qin Army used a lever to fire, so it basically did not require any effort, especially towards defending the city. With the arrows, they rapidly rained down, broke through the armor, and many soldiers were turned into thorns, their blood splashing out of their bodies.

The soldiers behind were shocked as they watched the scene unfold in front of them. Their bodies trembled, but no one knew if they were trembling in fear or excitement. Their faces were all flushed red as blood gushed out from their veins and veins, gradually warming them up.
